LS 111: Library Information Literacy for E-Learners
Methodology
Each week, you will have a set of short video lectures to watch, some additional material to read or watch, and an activity to complete. The final weeks will also include two culminating assignments: a bibliography on your research topic and a short research reflection. Each week builds on the previous week’s work, so it is important to complete the work in order.
Grading Criteria
Grading is done by letter grade and weighted as follows:
Pre-assessment: 5 points
Weekly Activities: 70 points total
Weeks 1-6 (10 points each)
Weeks 7-8 (5 points each)
Bibliography for your research topic: 10 points
Research process reflection: 10 points
Post-assessment: 5 points
Total possible = 100 points
Grade percentage = Points earned / 100

Checking Your Grades
The Essentials:
I will do my best to grade your work and post the grade and feedback to Blackboard in a timely manner (usually within 2 days of submission).
You can check your grades and feedback using the My Grades section of our Blackboard course site. I use a standard rubric for grading weekly activities.
Please read the feedback - I will give you tips to help you on your next assignment and advice on how to revise your current assignment, if needed.
The screenshot below shows you how to navigate your My Grades information:
Your grade in progress will be listed as "Grade so far." This will change to "Final Grade" once the course is complete.
Assignment names are links. Click on the name/link to view your submission and any embedded feedback.
Click on the "View Rubric" link to see your rubric score for an assignment.
Individual scores appear across from the assignment name. If there is a speech bubble icon by the score, that means I have given you feedback. Click on the speech bubble icon to see the feedback (this is really important to do).
